Must admit i didn't read through the license.mfl, having d/loaded it i've
noticed that it had fnsplit.c in there, and wanted to see how they've
done it, when i saw the copyright notice things turned red.

Ok, perhaps.
The remark wasn't adressed to Bob per se (which is why i refrained
from mentioning him), it was towards ANY code released into a
snippets collection carrying a copyright or anything more than a request
for acknowledgement.
On reading the license.mfl, the one in snippets isn't bad i suppose.
Since i know how to put a car together too, i can't wait till Bob will
start selling cars though...;-)
Btw, i think people(me too) put a fair bit of effort into PD code as well.

Here is something to ease the tension..
Programmer was found dead in the shower today with a large shampoo
bottle in his hand.
The instructions said: Lather, rinse, repeat.
From the humor echo, hopefully this isn't copyright.
